After reviewing CCTV, officers are today issuing an image of a man they want to speak to about the incident.

“No-one deserves to be spoken to in this manner, especially rail staff who were simply doing their job. I believe the man in the image has information about this incident. Who is he?” added PC Armstrong.

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting reference 149 of 16/11/16. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
